Re: [Peninsula-Patriots] Tomorrow's Monthl Patriot Meeting

Hi DeWitt - I'm getting there at 6:30. It is so easy as the chairs are there and just stacked. I usually do it so if you get there in time, many hands make light work. So appreciate the offer - as always - you are my hero. The big thing is putting things away. Folks want to chat with me and so it gets a little crazy.

So glad Andy is coming! It will be wonderful to see him again. He sure has been through a lot.Ruth

REMINDER: We will be meeting tomorrow at the Lighthouse Worship Center Annex (classrooms) in the rear of the parking lot at 7 PM. The location is Hayes, VA, just next door from the Salsa Restaurant.

We will briefly review and comment on the Republican Convention and use this as a time to begin to focus our energies on just what part we will play in the State campaign as well as the local campaigns. Campaigns can pull us in every direction so we need to clarify and be discerning as to what will work best for us in the time we have available.

We will also discuss and decide on the "project" we will commit to (one or two at the most) and take a vote. We are under attack on many fronts but like any well organized "army" we will assess and determine in which battlefield we are best equipped to win - and get to work.

We have some other issues to discuss and vote on as well regarding moving forward. Also, some of you have been sharing great ideas with me about things we can do.

Larry Nordvig, Executive Director of the Richmond Tea Party, is also a member of our group. If his schedule permits, we will be able to hear first hand about his testimony in the Congressional hearings regarding the IRS and the opportunities this has opened up for him (aka the Tea Party). He has been sought out by CNN, CBS, FOX, etc. If not, I will share what has transpired so far. DVD Hannity Monday night as he was invited to speak with Sean as well. This is a huge issue and we are fortunate to have such an able spokesman with first-hand knowledge.

See you all tomorrow. Please take it upon yourselves to remind those few members without computers to come. We will be developing a phone tree but that isn't in place yet.
